It reports that Trump sent White House doctors to evaluate Dunn, who then underwent emergency surgery at Walter Reed. Trump publicly described the intervention on Monday, and Johnson confirmed that he was discussing Dunn and said the congressman had continued working and voting despite a grim diagnosis.
